Installing the Single Mechanical Seals
1. You do not require special tools to install the mechanical seals, use your hands to assemble
the components.
2. Place the dowel pins (
25
) on the gear case, slide them smoothly, if you find difficulties stop and
check the surface finish of the pins and the drills on the gear case; replace the pins if necessary
and clean the inside drills (may use scrub a sponge).
3. Place the seal housing (
12J
) into the back cover. It has a drag pin in the front for the
static face (
12G
)
4. Tighten the button head screws (
13
) to secure the seal housing in the back cover.

5. Place the O-ring (
12H
) on the static face (
12G
)
6. Proceed to place the static face (
12G
) in the back cover. Make sure the notch is aligned with the
drag pin. There is no physical contact between the static face and the seal housing, the O-ring
limits the position of the static face. This step is crucial for the right assembly of the mechanical
seal; failing to do so properly can cause damage to the mechanical seals, the rotors and can even
alter the integrity of the pump.
